This is one of the OT's favorite arguments.

"Hazard lights should only be used if a vehicle is disabled in the roadway or on the shoulder," Louisiana State Police said. "There is no need to use your flashers while driving in the rain."

Yea that's pretty crazy.

I usually just turn on my backup/side strobes and 48" Led bar.

It was raining its dick off in Nashville last week and this a-hole was going 10 under the speed limit with his hazards on in the LEFT lane. If you're gonna do that shite at least stay in the right lane

It's also illegal to cruise in the left lane, yet the highways are full of jackasses doing it without consequence.

Hell here in Columbia Lexington and Richland County deputies cruise the left lane all day long.

If you feel you can’t drive in the rain then pull over and put your hazards on. I cannot tell if you’re braking or not when your hazards are on, thus creating an unsafe situation for both of us.

It is worst when it is the red brake lights flashing as opposed to separate yellow lights.

Yeah the problem is when it’s not yellow/orange flashing blinker lights and looks like brake lights.

I don’t get why this is such a big deal, but if it’s illegal then it’s whatever. I don’t drive with them on during the rain but think it can be helpful when I see people do it. Driving in the rain doesn’t bother me though.

The left lane is the new right lane, and vice versa

Good. Now do away with DST.

People don’t realize lights have meaning.

If you put your flashers on and you are traveling you are using them wrong. They are for when you are stopped.

If you are scared,get off of the road. You are a danger.

Then they need to change the actual law, because it does allow it.

I was just thinking the people I see doing this are elderly, and they surely don't have Twitter to see this message.

FIFY. LSP ain’t pulling over black people in the rain for this shite. They’re gonna sit in their car and play on their laptops.


And yes, it’s usually black people I see doing this, so call me racist.
